West End transfer of Curious Incident extends by 14 weeks

The West End transfer of the National Theatre's Whatsonstage.com Award-nominated production of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time has extended its booking period at the Apollo Theatre by 14 weeks to 31 August.

The show is based on Mark Haddon's award-winning novel, adapted by Simon Stephens (Harper Regan, Port)
and directed by Marianne Elliott (War Horse). It had a sell-out run at the
National's Cottesloe Theatre and set a new record with its NT Live
broadcast to worldwide cinemas, being seen by over 40,000 people in the
UK alone.

As previously reported, Luke Treadaway re-creates his performance as
Christopher Boone, the 15-year old maths genius with behavioural
problems.

Treadaway - who performs on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays
- will be joined by fellow original cast member Niamh Cusack playing his teacher, Siobhan. The
cast is completed by Matthew Barker (Ensemble), Sophie Duval (Mrs
Shears), Rhiannon Harper-Rafferty (Ensemble), Nick Sidi (Roger) and
Howard Ward (Ensemble).

Tickets go on sale to the general public today (Friday 25 January).

There is an accompanying learning programme for schools including
workshops, pre-show Q&As and a 'Curious about Devising' project
offering ASD and neuro-typical students the chance to integrate through
collaborative theatre-making.
